Footballers’ careers regularly go up and down. Every season is a new story and those who were recently heroes for the fans can quickly turn into major disappointments. Representatives of different platforms, including xGscore.io form such tops. We have prepared ours and are ready to share it with you.

Andriy Lunin

Real Madrid’s Ukrainian goalkeeper has never been considered a major option. Throughout his career for the creamy side, he was a second option and came on very rarely. However, he continued to work hard, never complained about his status, and did his best to perform well in the minutes given.

Courtois’ injury last season showed that Lunin was ready to become a number one. He was able to:

• win the competition against Kepa Arrizabalaga;
• play a lot of games with confidence;
• win the penalty shootout against Manchester City in the Champions League;
• win a place as the number one in the Ukraine national team (displacing both Trubin and Buschan).

However, Courtois’ return towards the end of the season again showed Ancelotti’s poor attitude towards the Ukrainian. He wasn’t even released for the Champions League final, which Real Madrid would hardly have made it to without him. 

This affected the psychology of the player and the national team, he was not in the best mood and… failed in the opening match against Romania, conceding 3 goals of which 2 can be blamed on Andriy. In the current season, he is again only a substitute, and most likely next year he will look for another club where he will be given practice. But this season both he and the fans are disappointed with the actual lack of game practice. 

Benjamin Sesko

The player went through all the steps in RB’s structure and ended up at Leipzig. Last season, the Slovenian midfielder was one of the main attacking options. Sesko’s presence on the pitch forced bettors to bet more often on the total over 2.5 prediction for today, but like Lunin, the game at the Euros showed that the young winger is not ready to become the leader of the team. 

In the current season, he is still the main player of Leipzig, but in 3 matches he also failed to please the fans with goals. Maybe this is that crisis season, after which Sheshko will be able to push back and develop with more motivation, but so far his game is more disappointing for the fans. 

Raheem Sterling

Just 5 years ago, the topic of Raheem Sterling’s transfer was the main meme among the fans, because he was almost every hour according to insiders at a new club. But after Manchester City, he moved to Chelsea and this year he has been an unnecessary option for Enzo Maresca.

It’s not surprising, because many fans noted that he was unstable last season and can both produce matches of the level of “old Sterling”, and be an inconspicuous player on the field or at all draw attention to himself, striving for individuality. As a result, once the main star of England will probably move to Arsenal, but there at his position is a younger Saka with the qualities of a real leader. Therefore, Raheem is unlikely to have much time at his new club. 

Jan Couto

Everyone who followed Girona knew that it was not the best defense and excellent attack. Therefore, any predictions for soccer for both teams to score tips for the matches of this team were justified. However, after a successful season, many players were acquired by more prominent clubs. Jan Couto went to Borussia Dortmund, but so far he has no opportunity to prove himself there. 

The player has not played a single minute in the 2 starting rounds. He is rather the main trump card for a substitute, but even as an option to refresh the flank, he is not used. Given the stable play of his rival, it is unlikely that Koutou will get much playing time in the new team and the fans are already disappointed with this move of the Brazilian. 

Conclusion

The new season has just started and whether the players who might disappoint us in the season have been correctly identified is still hard to say. But the above players have the most predictable starting positions so far. Of course, they are not the only ones, but these four were the most talked about last season. Hopefully, they can find their game and save the season, which has not started in the best way.
